Boys who do well at sports tend to be bullied and picked on less. Pretty girls, while they have their own set of issues, are at least spared some of the worst bullying. As someone who is neither pretty nor not-pretty, as an adult I have come to peace with all this. My aunt always said, I will never mind if my son is gay, but for his sake I hope he isn’t, because life is so much harder. Wanting to spare your child some pain is normal.
